ZAGREB, Croatia — A Croatian fire department released a humorous video advocating for fire safety by pretending they were interrupted by a fire alarm while watching the World Cup.

The Zagreb Fire Department’s Facebook video features a group of firefighters crowded around a small TV, watching Croatia’s quarterfinal matchup against Russia.

Suddenly, a fire alarm goes off, and the entire group jumps up without hesitation to grab their gear and report to duty.

Only three of the firefighters are able to witness the penalty kick session that claimed victory for Croatia, and they all jump and down screaming in celebration.

"The Fire is playing today for the semifinal," the fire department wrote in the Facebook post. "We are not fired, but we are dealing with fire. Careful when using torches and pyrotechnics, we can (finally) look at the fires [after the game]."
